Description: "More than half a century ago, the late Gordon Willey began his research in the Belize Valley, and ten years later he published a synthesis of his data that is recognized today as a classic study of ancient Maya settlement patterns. This new volume reviews the abundant research that has taken place in the region since the 1950s (and includes a new retrospective chapter from Willey, submitted shortly before his death in April 2002)."--BOOK JACKET
